Our agency has unlimited PTO and I was told people average around 3 weeks. I did 4 last year and going to see if I can “get away” with 5 this year.

I took roughly 1 week every quarter (+ a few random fridays here and there). Probably total was like 20-25 days a year. Not bad and honestly I probably could have gotten away with more, it never felt like anyone cared that much

We have unlimited PTO and people don’t use it enough IMO (though I think that’s the goal from a business standpoint). As long as your team is ok with it and you’re keeping up with work, take whatever you want.

Use at least 20 days…

Thanks all. Just wanted some validation it’s hard to figure out the norms when starting.

I take 3-4 weeks typically. My company has unlimited PTO with up to 5 weeks “encouraged”

Hi guys,

Do these companies negotiate? When & how should I start negotiation with them ?

I would like to talk professionally so that they provide me a matching CTC or in case, they can't at least they don't block me for future openings.

Please suggest, if anyone can share their experiences.
